They are shown in Diagram:1 (Fiber core, Polypropylene core, Steel core, Wire Strand Core).   • Diagram-1: Components creating a rope Wires are stranded and strand and core are closed in different compositions and directions and create different rope compositions (Table 1; Diagram-2,3,4,5 and 6) Table 1.
